So I'm a guy, and as with most guys, oh how
can I put this...I consider the water-closet, or the restroom, to be my kingdom, my domain, my sanctuary. If you're a
guy, or know a guy, you probably know what I'm talking about, right? Well, nothing is perfect, and there's trouble in
paradise. I never have anything to read in my "kingdom." I have read all the woman and baby magazines 1000
times, and today I have simply had enough of 10 things you should do if your baby is inextricably gassy. I feel
disgustingly indoctrinated and helpless against the mind-numbingness (if that's a word) of it all. I try to read my
PHP5 book or other massive manuals on such things as ColdFusion, ASP.NET, MCSD, *NIX, hacking, hardware mods, and
sometimes even Grey's Anatomy (the medical reference not the TV show) but the books are too heavy to hold for more than
five minutes. Enter Origami. What if I could read e-books, watch IPTV or web video, my favorite episodes of sci-fi shows, and even surf the internet, all within the comfort of my "kingdom?" That kind of a device would make me happier than if I had that killer gaming rig I still haven't built with all these piles of cash. I mean two things I consider sacred, my kingdom and my entertainment all in one place. Now that is the 21st century in technology. The only thing I won't try on origami is most likely video-conferencing. Yeah, that's right, not pretty.







1. I told a co-worker that this would be the ultimate use of the Origami when the announcement of the device was made. I mean, a laptop is too big for the "throne", but this will be perfect. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks of these things...
